38 YEARS AGO (1982): Subject to approval of plans by the Water Management Branch of the Ministry of Environment, the Village of 100 Mile House would almost certainly go ahead with the Horse Lake water control structure which had been proposed since 1977. According to Mayor Ross Marks, construction might begin as early as the fall. Brian Walker, an engineer with the Village's engineering firm, Dayton and Knight Ltd., said at the time that there was not enough creek water to adequately service the Village in the summer months.

Potholes are becoming an issue

If you're new to the area, you might well think the majority of the drivers here are drunk as they make sudden swerving motions. Anyone paying attention, however, may well have noticed the abundance of potholes. They're not just on side streets either even the highways are covered with them. There are even a few complaints going around online of popping tires on them.

EDITORIAL: More compassion needed in energy projects discourse

Very few people go around cheering when their neighbour's house catches fire yet, increasingly, that's what seems to be happening in the ever ongoing issues surrounding oil and pipelines. As protests continue, the rhetoric is being dialled to 11 with less and less sympathy for others.
